Time to catch up.

I took several pictures up until the 8th of October, but unfortunately, none of them managed to get saved to my hard drive. So, in an effort to keep going, I'll do some skipping and jumping. My sister and brother in law's little girl was born 10-1-10. The following Thursday I was able to fly home to see my family and surprise my sister and her hubby. It was beyond worth it to see them and get to hold my new neice.

My cousin had a friend drop out of going to a concert last minute and offered the spot to me. I love Sugarland and Little Big Town so of course I was in. It was the perfect night to have an outdoor concert. Clear skies, cool, crisp nights, and great music. So far, I have to say October is shaping up to be the best month of the year. Hopefully the time goes by fast and Christmas is here before I know it.

Today I got some of the best news ever. My sister and her husband have welcomed Adelaide November Mosey at 12:16 in the morning. I am so incredibly excited for them. These are one of those times that I wish more than anything else that I could be home, enjoying my time with them. With that in mind, I called my aunt and just asked if I could come over for a hug. I figured that if anyone could understand my desire to be home, she could. By the end of the night I had a massive headache, some very bloodshot eyes, but I did feel slightly better. But my pillows have never looked better.

When I was a kid I wanted more than anything to have curly hair. I owned a crimper with several plates, and one of of them could turn my whole head into wavy, fried curls. While I no longer know what happened to the crimper, I can still get the same effect by sleeping over night in a french braid. Lately, I've taken to wearing a small portion along my hairline in a braid. It's the perfect way to keep my hair back without using pony tails.

Fun times were had by all. Or at least by two small cats. I had unwisely left this toy on the shelf next to my bed. In the middle of the night Lucy decided that it was play time. So she jumped up, grabbed her toy, knocked over my necklace stand and jumped back down. I did not enjoy being woken up by the sounds of crashing and breaking at 2 am. My poor downstairs neighbors. I can't imagine what they were thinking.

Along with fall temperatures, we have gotten rain. Almost too much rain. But on the plus side, I can now pull out my warm, comfy blanket. I got this blanket 12 years ago on a trip to Mexico. I love pulling this out because it means cool, crisp nights.

ARGHHHHH..... elapsed time has to be personally responsible for any and all gray hairs that I might have. I hate teaching this subject and we are only given 2 weeks in which to do it. This, along with the fact that it was a Monday, makes this concept such a bear. So in an attempt to make it more interactive I decided to put a giant clock on the floor along with a really spinner hand and take some markers and draw on the floor. My kids were all a little shocked as I got down on the floor and began writing. Hopefully it will pay off in learning.
